We should be well past this process. I was disappointed in the outcome for sure,&#8221; Dzadovsky said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"3\">During Monday night&#8217;s city commission meeting, Dzadovsky made a motion to terminate the development agreement, but the motion failed.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"4\">Current developer Bill Ware with Live Oak Holdings also attended Monday night&#8217;s city commission meeting.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"5\">&#8220;I will continue my monthly email updates, but I&#8217;ll also continue my monthly quarterly updates,&#8221; Ware said.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"6\">The commissioners voted 3-2 to grant developers the extension to raise the funding for a hotel that is part of the mixed-use development near the downtown marina.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"7\">The multi-million-dollar project is expected to include a Marriott hotel, restaurant, residential units, retail space, and a parking garage. However, the project has faced several delays over the years.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\">&#8220;I respectfully request that we not be held captive or accountable for this ten-year-plus period of time and prior to Live Oak being approved in the April of 2025 third amendment,&#8221; Ware said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"9\">Officials agreed to move forward but instructed the developers to formally document their default.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"10\">&#8220;Our concerns need to be addressed in that document, or it&#8217;s not going to get approved,&#8221; Michael Broderick said.   <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"11\">The commissioner is not optimistic about the outcome.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"12\">&#8220;Given the seven years&#8217; experience, I think six months from now we&#8217;ll be back to where we started today, last night,&#8221; Dzadovsky said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"13\">Developers now have 180 days to secure the funding and move the project forward.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"14\">Stay up to date: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpbf.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The latest headlines and weather from WPBF 25<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"15\">Get the latest news updates with the WPBF 25 News app. You can download it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpbf.com\/article\/get-wpbf-25-news-on-the-go\/999316\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"16\">Follow us on social: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wpbf25news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPBF25News\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wpbf25news\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@WPBF\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@wpbf25news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fort Pierce commissioners grant six-month extension for delayed King&#8217;s Landing project FORT PIERCE, Fla. \u2014 Fort Pierce city&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[2443,2152,2318,28,3886,22490,20832,171,173,172,189],"class_list":["post-400935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-port-st-lucie","tag-angela-rozier","tag-development","tag-downtown","tag-florida","tag-fort-pierce","tag-kings-landing","tag-marina","tag-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie-headlines","tag-port-st-lucie-news","tag-wpbf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
